I have a JVC GR-D270u digital video camera that uses mini digital video cassettes. I have hooked my USB cable up to every port I can find in my computer yet I can not get my computer to recognize the signal when I try to dub the video over to my hard drive. I'm using Sonic MyDVD plus software and all I get is "no video signal detected" no matter what port I use. It is a brand new USB cable.

I haven't used a digital camcorder with a USB cable. My camcorder uses a Firewire cable. Does your camera have a Firewire port? If so, you might try installing a Firewire card. I think they're pretty cheap nowadays.
Did the computer install a driver the first time you connected the cable? Or did it ask for a driver? Generally, it should auto detect and try to find a driver.

I have dubed over cam video and mine did require FireWire port for that. My camera also had USB port, but it was only used to grab the stills I took with it. My guess, like RandomPrecision's, is you'll need to use the FireWire.

Yes, to transfer the video from miniDV you need FireWire connection. USB is used for downloading still images.

My video camera can pull video over the USB port. Then again there's no reason to since it has a SDHC card slot.
